Before we begin scaling our services, lets understand how to collect and understand metrics on those systems. A dashboard is included for both PuppetDB and the Puppet Enterprise console. We can use these dashboards to inspect the metrics of our system and identify problems along the way. As an environment grows, we want to ensure we have enough system resources available to Puppet to ensure that catalogs can be compiled and served to agents. A separate dashboard is provided for both PuppetDB and Puppetserver.
